Danyi, this chapters for you cause I know you like Amelia… lol

Ok, I think we had another drama for the moment, I think we should c how Amelia's gonna cope with what happened to her…

All Andie could do on the way back to Sarah's was stare at her hands. She had sat herself in the front seat of Chase's SUV, she kept thinking about her baby sister's reaction as she tried to hold her. The look on her face as she looked into her sisters caramel brown eyes was a readable hurt. Amelia was terrified, Andie was trying to figure out who had done that to her. But the only person that could have scared Amelia to act like that was there dad. Amelia had always been scared of him, even as a child. Andie's hand shot to her mouth to keep from letting a sob at, her whole body was shaking as she tried not to burst into tears again. She should be happy, at least they had Amelia back where she belonged, anything else the sisters could work on together.

Chase looked at Andie and his heart nearly choked him, seeing how low she was, was heart breaking. Andie never broke down; hell she never gave any emotion from her. His knuckles were white as he drove to Andie's house, taking her and her sisters home. Amelia was cuddled into Jeff, her eyes shut but he could tell she was awake, listening to every noise, every time someone moved those empty caramel coloured eyes snapped open and she looked around at everyone terrified. Jeff just held her close to his chest. Nobody could get her to sit next to one of her sisters, she was too scared.

Jaimee had insisted that she was gonna ride with Tyler, just to keep him from doing something stupid. She could read him like an open book, but it was normally Amelia that was closest to their older brother but she wouldn't let even him near her. She had seen the terror in her sisters eyes had Jeff had lifted her up to carry her up the stairs. She had nearly screamed as Tyler had moved the hair out of her face to see if she was alright. Jeff kept telling her it was alright, that Tyler wasn't going to hurt her. Jaimee racked her hands through her hair in frustration. Tyler was following Chase's car very closely. His eyes were on the road, but Jaimee could see the pain under the cool and collected face that he put on of everyone else. Jaimee guessed that out of the many friends they had all together, only Mac, Miles, Lucy and Nora could tell that Tyler was as composed as he made out. Even when he rang Sarah to let her know what was happening and for her to call the police, pressing on the fact that no one could touch Amelia at all, he was calm.

Pulling up outside their house was exactly that what Andie needed, Nora was on the porch waiting for them. Tears had stricken down her face when Tyler had told her what had happened to his baby sister. She could tell that he was beyond being pissed and way beyond murderous. What he was she couldn't tell but she knew he wouldn't be calmed down easily. When Jeff climbed out the car and picked Amelia up out of it, she saw how Andie, Jaimee and Tyler looked painfully on.

They walked into the house, with the crew hot on their heels. Sarah was sat on the settee with Lucy holding onto her hands. When she heard the group coming in Sarah stood up and walked towards Amelia. She was still pressed against Jeff, but the minute she saw Sarah a new flood of tears started rolling down her pale cheeks. Sarah just brushed Amelia's hair away from her face, "Shh… shh, baby… its ok… I'm here."

Slowly Jeff sat the broken girl down on the settee; she was still cold and shivering. Lucy had had enough sense to race upstairs when they had come through the door to get a blanket. She laid this around her friend's shoulders and looked on as the poor little thing curled up into a ball. Nora had taken Tyler out of the room, but she watched him through the door as he broke down in Nora's arms. Miles and Mac just stood helpless as they watched on.

"Miles lets get some drinks for everyone."

Miles just nodded, his eyes still resting on Amelia's face. Everyone else just sat or stood helpless around the living room. Chase had laid his arms around Andie as she let her tears out. Jaimee had curled up into Cable's lap and he was rubbing her back in a comforting kind of way. Normally the group would have laughed about that but nobody could even bring up a sound. The only noises you could hear were from the crying girls and Tyler.

But when the police arrived most of the group had disappeared into the kitchen, leaving just Amelia, Sarah, Andie, Jaimee, Tyler, Nora, Jeff and Chase. Amelia wouldn't let anyone near her and refused to talk to the police about anything. It took all Jeff's calm words and hugs for her to let them talk her into going to the hospital to get check over. She had refused to let her sisters and Tyler go with them. When she said this, Andie and Jaimee just sat there hurt in their eyes. Tyler laid his arms around his two sisters and nodded slightly. He only said, "We will come and see you, whenever you want… all you have to do is call." Amelia nodded and once again Jeff carried his friend to the car. Sarah had laid her arms around "her" other two girls.

Nobody said a word on the drive to the hospital, nor had Amelia let Jeff go. She was curled up against him as Sarah drove. He was stroking her back gently and whispering calm words to her, eventually she fell asleep curled up in his arms. Sarah just looked at him in the mirror and she could see that this blonde guy with the chocolate brown hair could be the only thing Amelia could trust. She had barely let Sarah go near her, she felt as helpless as everyone else. Parking outside the hospital Sarah turned round and looked at Jeff. "Are you going to be alright with all this?"

She had seen a lot go on with Andie and her friends in the last 3 weeks and she knew they had the streets and a fundraiser at school coming up in just 3 months time and they needed to get ready for it. But if Amelia was be taking part in any of these things she didn't know but she hoped that with Jeff's help she would be able to get back to her happy self again. Jeff nodded and looked down at Amelia, then suddenly it hit him, a wave of love that he had for this young girl. He couldn't believe how much she had affected him since she came to MSA. He had felt lost before, but he didn't know that he had felt that way until she walked into his arms that first day at MSA. She had intrigued him with her sarcastic and cocky nature, the fact that she hadn't fallen at his feet like other MSA girls had just made him want to be near her more.

Carefully not to wake her Jeff carried Amelia into the hospital. Sarah had managed to pull a couple of strings and get the doctor that knew the girls really well, due to their constant dance injuries from the past 3 or 4 years. Dr. Todd looked towards her still sleepy girl that had once been so bubbly and independent. "Sarah," the voice was quiet as the female doctor nodded towards her colleague and the child in Jeff's arms. "Is she ok? What happened?"

Together with Jeff they started to walk towards a closed bay, Sarah had been very vague as she had spoken to the doctor. Carefully Jeff laid the girl on the crisp white bed, but the minute he let her go, her eyes snapped open and she stared at him. He took her hand in his and smile at her. She turned her head looking at Sarah then at the doctor. Sarah had whispered what the doctor already suspected.

"Hey, Mia… how you feeling?" the doctor smiled at her as she stood next to the bed. Amelia just stared at the doctor, her eyes were icy darts as she heard what the doctor asked her, How she was feeling? What a stupid question to ask. Jeff seemed to read her eyes well as he squeezed her hands slightly in his own. She snapped her head round to stare at him, taking her hand away from his she answered her doctor with a cold and sarcastic voice, "Yeah, I feel great… I've been out partying every night for the past 3 weeks… how the hell do you think I'm feeling?"

Everyone stepped back from her as she stared at them all. All Jeff could see was an angry and hurt young girl locked up in the feisty one he once knew. He stepped closer to the bed and lay his hand on Amelia's shoulder, "Babes, calm down…"

She just hissed at him, and looked at him with those empty eyes. "Don't call me babes…" Sarah just looked at her ward and smiled slightly. She could almost see the feistiness of the young dancer from a month ago. Her eyes were still empty but her voice and her sarcastic comments were back. Doctor Todd stepped forward the girl and said "Lets get you checked over… then you can go back home to your sisters, hey… I bet they can't wait to give you a big hug."

Amelia just shrugged her shoulders and fell back into the crisp white hospital bed. She closed her eyes trying to ignore the pain that she could feel in her lower body. But everyone else saw her wince as she laid back. The doctor looked at Jeff who said, "I'll just go and get you a drink, Amelia…"

A hand shot out grabbing his wrist as he turned away; he looked back towards Amelia and saw she was once again just a scared girl looking at him out of caramel coloured eyes. He bent down towards her, "I'm not going far, Amelia. I promise… I don't think I need to be here for…" He laid his lips on her forehead and she let him go. As she watched him leave the room, she raised a confused hand to her forehead, touching the place where Jeff's lips had rested. She didn't even realise that Doctor Todd was talking to Sarah about her being so reliant on Jeff. She tuned back in as her carer laid a hand on her shoulder. She nearly jumped of the bed when she was touched. "Hey… warn a girl before hand…" She hissed at her guardian.

"Amelia, you need to get undressed, honey…"

Amelia shuddered slightly at the thought of taking her clothes off; well they weren't even her clothes. They were Andie's but she didn't care, they were warm and they smelled of her sister. Doctor Todd brushed Amelia's hair out of her face and raised her face. "It'll be ok, Mia… I'm not going to hurt you… I just need to check you over… and would rather do it when your rather handsome friend isn't in the room, don't you?"

Amelia nodded and started pulling her sisters clothes off her body. When she stood in just her bra, she saw Sarah wince at the state of her normally curvy body. She was just skin and bone as she stood there, she felt violated as the doctor checked her over. After writing a couple of notes she let Amelia put her clothes back on and sat down on the bed. Jeff knocked, which made Amelia jump again, before Sarah let him back in the room. Amelia held out her arms for him, and waited for him to pull her close. He didn't know why she trusted him, but he just wanted to be there for her.

Sarah and the Doctor left the two alone and once the door was shut, silent tears rolled down Amelia's face as she turned into Jeff's chest. She felt safe here, something she hadn't done for along time. She never trusted her father, ever since she was a child. She was scared of him, her sisters loved him about but she would just run onto her mothers lap and stay there until he was gonna again. When he left all those years ago she hoped that he would never come back but he had. He had hurt her, done things to her that a father should never do.

Jeff rocked his friend as she sobbed against his chest, his arms tight around her frail body. His words were quiet and soothing as he rubbed her back. He could feel how skinny she was under Andie's top. He could feel her ribs and every other bone in her back. Jeff felt helpless as he rocked Amelia off to sleep; she was curled up in his arms, her arms tightly wrapped round his body.

Sarah came back into the room, no smile or nothing on her face. She just picked up her coat and said, "Let's get Amelia home and into her bed… Andie and Jaimee need to be near their sister…" Jeff nodded. He woke Amelia up and carried her out of the hospital, but they weren't even in the car when she was asleep again.

A few weeks had past since the incident with Amelia, she was filling out. She was able to look at her sisters and Tyler without trying to curl up in a corner petrified. She had even let Andie cuddle her in when she woke from her many nightmares. When the others went to school she just sat around the house with Missy talking and joking about everything. Missy was also the only person who knew what was going on in Amelia's mind; Amelia had told her who had hurt her. But she refused to tell anyone else, making Missy swear that she would never tell a soul.

She was getting back to her old self, but there was still something missing in her. Her eyes didn't shine as they used to anymore. Her smile and her laughter never reached them. All too often had one of her friends caught her staring into space and remembering what had happened to her. Everyday Jeff came racing round after school, he even left school on a couple of occasions because she needed him.

It didn't take her long to want to go back to school either. She had already missed out on a lot since she was locked away. She missed dancing and she missed her friends. They came round everyday but it wasn't the same. She wanted to proof to herself that she could face those front steps and MSA again. Amelia had made Jeff promise that he would get Chase to pick the sisters up, so that she had his support in facing her demon…

Waking up from a night of bad dreams, Amelia climbed out of bed. She walked over to her dresser and pulled out a pair of baggy jeans and a tiny top that barely covered her upper body, she wasn't going to let what happen to her stop her from dressing how she loved too. She rummaged through her drawers and pulled out a pair of Jeff's boxers. She had nabbed them off him, whilst they were sat in his room with her sisters and the crew. They had all had a laugh when he chased her around dies room trying to get them back off her. And he failed, much to everyone's amusement. She was just to small and could wriggle away from him and to bendy she could get out of most of his holds. A faint smile played on her lips as she climbed into her shower and let the hot water, burn away the nightmare.

Andie could hear Amelia getting ready for school and she smiled. She was already showered and dressed, Jaimee was sat on the end of her bed plaiting her sister's hair. Andie was concern that her baby sister was trying to pushing herself to hard, but she couldn't stop her. Every time she so much as hinted that she thought it was a bad idea Amelia would go into a rage, that wasn't like her at all.

"What you thinking about, D?"

"Nothing, Jaimee… Nothing…"

"Mia will be fine, trust me. She's stubborn cow and she always gets what she wants."

"You got a point there…" Andie sighed slightly as she stood up. Dressed her trademark trackies and a top, her midriff was showing as she stretched. Jaimee brushed her straight hair over her shoulders as she stood. She had spent an hour getting her naturally curly hair straight. There was no way anyone could mistake her and sisters, but people still did. She couldn't count how many times she had been called Andie or Amelia growing up. Even at MSA with their different attitudes and clothing people got them mixed up.

The sisters looked round as Amelia walked in, her hair was falling in wild curls as she straightens her clothes. She smiled at Andie and Jaimee, but never catching their eyes. She was still to scared to, but she could be near them now. She could barely contain herself with impatient as she bounced from one foot to the other. Jeff and Chase had promised to pick them up early so they could grab breakfast together.

Andie and Jaimee laughed as they watched their sister run downstairs and onto the porch. They followed her, but once they got there they couldn't see Amelia at all. Until Andie spotted her being swung around in circles by Tyler and laughing at him. Both of her sisters just gaped at her, she hadn't let Tyler come near her since she had come home. But they soon realised why she was laughing. Tyler was saying something about her and Jeff making a cute couple. Amelia just swatted her brother's arm when she was back on her both two feet.

"Get real, Ty. Jeff doesn't like me in that way and hell I don't like him in that way…"

"In what way?"

Amelia jumped as she heard a familiar voice standing behind her, a pair of strong arms slung themselves around her hips. She was still skinny in comparison to her sister but she was starting to fill out again. Her curves were coming back and she was starting to look like Amelia again. She was laughing as leaned back against him letting him nuzzle her neck.

Andie, Jaimee, Tyler and Chase rolled their eyes when they looked at their siblings. Even though both of them said they were only friends, everyone else could see how much they were flirting and Jeff nuzzling her neck just made everyone think he was trying to make a play for her. Andie knew that her sister fancied the pants of jeff and Chase kept telling Jeff to go for it. The worst that could happen was Andie kicking his ass for asking her baby sister out.
